Brexit: A battle of wills that could lead to disastrous consequences

Brexit: A battle of wills that could lead to disastrous consequences

As many Members of Parliament have sided with the negotiators of the European Union to prevent Britain from coming out of the European Union, the battle of wills continues. The so called Benn's Act would in theory force the British Primer Boris Johnson to ask for an extension to keep Britain in beyond the 31st of October 2019. The Prime Minister has stated that Britain will be out on 31 October 2019 with or without a deal.

When many thought that the political crisis had been averted, the political crisis is very much ongoing. It wasn't even delayed. Parliament will be suspended days before the Queen's Speech. The clock is ticking. 

My belief is that the letter might be sent together with a threat: "Should you try to keep Britain in, Britain will use its veto to block the European Union." For the EU, it will very much like swallowing a poisonous frog that in the end will kill the animal that eats it.

What are the matters that Britain will block?

If Britain vetoes decisions on foreign affairs, taxation, justice and the EU budget, such decisions will. not be approved and this means paralisys. Does the EU want to be paralized? 

European Union without a budget because of British veto. Well... This could happen right at the beginning, transforming the European Union into a ship without engines and without rudder.
